Hello all,
I'm looking for an Fliegersichttuch (aviator considerate cloth), used or unused.
If anybody have some for sale, please contakt me.
thanks
Florian

Florian, if it would help, that's better translated as an "aircraft recognition panel", at least that's the equivalent term in English. Best regards. Stephen

Oh thank you Stephen.
Unfortunatly, I ca'nt change the Titel
But everyone Know what I mean...

Not a clue!
What on earth is this?

Hi Christoffer,

at the beginning of ww2 german tank crews used the Fliegersichttuch showing the german war ensign to mark their tanks to prevent beeing attacked by own aircrafts. observers at the ground couldn't see it.

Is that a wonky black cross on a white and red back ground?

Yes, indeed, a black Hakenkreuz in the middle of a white circle on a red underground. The ensign was placed at the turret roof or the back side of the hull. Also other troops like infantry used Fliegersichttücher to mark the front line.

Hello Florian,

what you are looking for you will find at www.patchesofpride.com
